Alloy compressor pipes

[Jcerb]

I noticed i have a snapped compressor pipe! Can you buy these or get a steel replacement? Has anyone else here had this issue and resolved it? Many Thanks

I'm sure they will be available as TVR changed to steel themselves after chassis 1777 (which happens to be my chassis). I presume yours is an early car? IIRC they had two compressor pipes which were also modified so there was a strengthening piece holding them as one.

This one?

I had cracked the steel version, replaced with this, recharged and all was good.

Thanks very much guys! I have ordered one now. It is a 1997 4.2, i cannot believe how thin the wall on the tube is they use!

What's your chassis, out of curiosity?

[Jcerb]

I will find out, how come?! Something i should know?ha ha

[robsco]

Not at all, it was probably very close to mine in the production run that's all.

I'll find it out later and post it
